Memories of Georgetown

Selamat Detang! It's Saturday again. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I had so much fun browsing the photos I took around Georgetown, Penang when my partner and I had a holiday there. Georgetown is the capital of Penang and a UNESCO World Heritage site. I captured most of the photos below while riding on a tuk-tuk or rickshaw which is a very common transportation around Georgetown. Enjoy!

The Kapitan Keling Mosque built in 1801
The famous Choo Chay Keong temple of Yap Kongsi (Clan House)
some old houses around Georgetown

went to see the waterhouses with Uncle, our rickshaw's driver

passed by Little India, Georgetown

Outside the Sri Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Georgetown

The Guan Yin temple is the oldest Chinese temple in Penang, existed around 1728.
the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower

the Gurney Drive offers a scenic view and has many shopping centres along the road

this street with lots of colorful houses caught my attention

The Municipal Council of Pinang Hall or City hall built in 1903 is a colonial building  which is still well- preserved until today

KOMTAR (Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak) Tower  is said to be Penang's first skycraper.

when in Georgetown, don't forget to drop by at Swensens just around Times Square. You won't miss it.
